Just a wave today from this hand I've added to the bottom of Palace of the Soul. There will be another one at the top of the cloth. I've woven largely lower contrast fabrics into the dark base because the reaching hand speaks to form rising out of formlessness, images out of the unconscious and the mystery of making. I have also added shelves to the new studio area - and moved more fabrics into it, as well as my threads - and the design walls are up and covered with flannel. I'm so pleased to have Palace of the Soul out on my big table to work on, now.

yvonne,
it took me a while to actually see the hand because i was seeing other things, objects, eyes, movement - so i would say jolly good job...the obvious isn't obvious. it reminds me of the faces - you know, sometimes you see and old person and sometimes and young one depending on how or what you see first. very nice. color is lovely. and the star is secretive too
oh i like how you created that hand reaching out to another dimension.
I love using the metaphor of a hand reaching...just beautiful work!!! Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez stewart
Love this hand of many stitches :)
nice interpretation of the shaped stitch and continuing idea.
out of formlessness...
it has a really strong sense
of water to me...really sensual.
excited about the studio progress,
looking forward to seeing it????
Henrietta - thanks for letting me know how you viewed it - that's helpful and I'm glad what I intended comes across.
Deanna, Mary Helen, Nancy and Jude - thanks!
Grace - I will post a photo or two once it's done - I know I enjoy seeing the work spaces of others.
Oh, yessssss!
